  • Patent number: 8786467
    Abstract: A method and a system for displaying an airport or runway moving map with traffic information on a display screen in the cockpit or flight deck of an aircraft. Symbology representing surface and near-surface aircraft and surface vehicle traffic and associated traffic data are filtered to prevent or limit clutter on the display screen. Traffic symbology is automatically and manually filtered to display only relevant traffic. Traffic data is selectively displayed and displayed as/when relevant or needed. The displayed traffic information may be derived from automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast, traffic information system-broadcast, automatic dependent surveillance-rebroadcast, traffic collision avoidance system or other source.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6611152
    Abstract: A test adapter is provided that configures the electrical communication between a unit under test (UUT) and an electronic test station, particularly existing, commonly used test stations. The test adapter consists of a printed wiring board having at least one electrically conductive path and at least one connection terminal in electrical communication with the conductive path, whereby the connection terminal connects the UUT to the adapter. Additionally, the test adapter includes a plurality of electrically conductive pins that are in electrical communication with the electrically conductive path and extend outward from a first surface of the printed wiring board, wherein the pins are adapted to electrically connect the test adapter to the test station.
